Computer Usage In The Construction Industry And Construction Education, Stephen Douglas Stulken

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The rapid growth of computer usage in American society, and in the construction industry in particular, has important implications for construction education programs. There is a lack of current information about computer usage in the construction industry.

The objective of this study was to determine to what extent construction education programs provide the necessary computer competencies for their students. This was accomplished by comparing the current status of computer usage in the construction industry with computer-related …

Graduate Research Papers

In the past 10 years, many aspects of American culture have changed dramatically. One aspect of American culture is our economic system, based on individual enterprise, entrepreneurship, and competition.

We are becoming an automated, information-based society. We are no longer held within the confines of an immediate area, but can become informed of new developments worldwide in a matter of minutes. As we view these changes from an educational …

Is School Science An Endangered Species?, Jack Gerlovich, Thomas Budnik

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

2. Is school science

A recent National Science Foundation report warns that the United States faces immediate shortages of engineers and computer professionals; it also sees a trend "toward virtual scientific and technological illiteracy in the population at large."(12)

Science News reported that the nation's commitment to excellence and international primacy in science and mathematics has waned markedly over the past 15 years. Not only the scientific community, but the nation as a whole, will suffer if drastic changes aren't made quickly. In an age when scientific and technical literacy is becoming increasingly necessary to function in our society, increasing …
